Many of my recipes are simple stir-fry type recipes because these are the ones I most often cook myself! From a convenience perspective, I certainly understand why many people choose fast food or processed food options… they save time (and sometimes money too).

That being said, with a little ingenuity, it is possible to make healthy options that are also fast and simple to prepare. I’ve found that by changing the spices used, it is easy to make a simple ground beef recipe taste delicious and add variety to a basic meal.

This simple stir-fry is one of our favorites, and it is somewhat inspired by my Greek Meatloaf Recipe, which is one of my all time favorite recipes…

    Love this dish!!!! Great flavor, and love how versatile it is. We had elk meat so used that instead of beef, and crushed tomatoes instead of diced. We served it over rice. Will be adding this to our regular rotation. Thanks for the recipe!!

    This was delicious! I had to add an extra can of tomatoes bc it was way too dry and didn’t think that chicken stock would help as much. Just saw the comment about adding cinnamon and that’s a great idea for next time!

    Hi– are the fennel greens the stalk part or the fronds? Sorry I’m not too familiar with cooking with fennel but this recipe sounds great

    Wow, this looks awesome! I tried a greek inspired stew last night, but it just was too watery. Have to try this.
